A cross-sectional quantitative methodology was used, with a descriptive analytical scope. The sample consisted of 197 students, representing 60% of the population, with a stratified sampling. The information was obtained through two instruments: FF SIL and structured survey, which have likert measurement scale. The results obtained showed that the family typology does not influence the decisions of the students surveyed for the choice of careers, likewise their liking for them increases as they progress academically.
